We are "the bands of Seymour" – variety cover bands based in Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. – and rooted in good ol' rock & roll.
OK, we're of a certain age. Two of us (Frogz and JD) cut our teeth in 1960's Portland-area garage bands – "the Southmen" and "Music Box." In late 1969 we co-founded (along with Mick Austin and Johnny Ryan) Portland's original Seymour band, which gigged extensively in the local area in 1970-71 (including opening a Grateful Dead show at a University of Portland event). After stints in various other bands during the 70's and 80's, we re-launched Seymour in 1991 after a fun reunion gig at the same University, and we're "still at it" after all these years.
We currently have two active "standard band configurations" available for hire:
Seymour Express – our trio – consists of:
The trio is our compact and economical band configuration. Carlee, Frogz, and JD are accompanied by "George" – our pre-programmed rhythm section, produced by the elves at SeymourLabs™.
Better yet, you can upgrade to Seymour & Smith – our full five-piece combo. This gets you a bigger song list, more great vocals, and additional flexibility for "switching things up on the fly" at your event – along with the live rhythm section. The additional musicians rounding out Seymour & Smith are:
And if Carlee happens to be unavailable for your date, "the boys" may be available, and you can book "Seymour, the band" or "Seymour & Company." Contact Frogz for details.
Each ensemble brings its own unique flavor. Talk to us about your requirements and we'll put together the perfect set list for your gig.
